spread the poison bro if shipped out today then should be reaching you tomorrow..hopefully..

Friday is just another day away will be soon anyways..

I believe its not the same size as the previous gen 16", this is flat surface while that one is slightly curved..cant confirm though but very unlikely it will fit. anyway most likely you will drop the skin idea after seeing the real thing, the silver surface is pretty
Sorry missed this message earlier, try not to change address with courier services, its very messy and end up delaying your stuffs coz they might send it to another facility center and so on.. had really bad experience before but it was UPS that time.. my first and last time changing delivery address ever since..

This is the link, highly recommended another pic of the keyboard cover, it’s existence is not quite obvious depending on the lighting..



yes it was tough deciding between colours..didn't have much confidence on the silver initially, I pick it coz of discoloration issue too.. it turns out to be a surprise, wasn't quite convinced with what the youtubers said about the 'different/special feel' on the silver which can only tell in person.. turns out they are right, at least to me

soon the delivery will be even longer like 4-5 weeks, then 6-8 weeks and so on.. I would suggest camping ready stocks from AASP, skip all the unnecessary waits..

While the table is still tidy 😘

Is the supply of the new MBP's really so limited? Went to a Switch outlet today and the guy told me all the 512G 14" base model all sold out and they expect the next batch to come in only after 1 month if not longer. Biar betul.....

wow next week is your big week then, a lot to look forward

to add in, after selected the brand you wanna go with, there comes the model, then the type of switches... lol...
wow I totally missed your post bro

so you receive it earlier than expected..yea I find the lid easier to open too, but the thought of opening the lid right on the notch though..never had that thought coz no notch before also agree the screen is super crispy, that's also why I decided to jump into the bigger screen from my initial 14" plan (somewhat I wish we get these new mbps in retailers earlier so we could actually touch and feel before decide, whatever planned out was a blind decision, luckily no regrets and happy with my decision)...also test out the speakers too, super crispy bass

btw, how do you like the silver? any good/bad feel on it from whatever you have expected?

What’s the 25% discount bro? I would be very willing to wait till January if there is a 25% off too

Just noticed oils from my fingers get trapped easily on the keys, and when the lid is closed the screen has these round smudges from the most used keys.

So bit the bullet and got myself the Magic KB, to go with the Magic Mouse I've had already. +1 aesthetics, -1 portability due to KB, though through no fault on the MBP

I'm going to get the 16" M1 Max 24 core, 32Gb RAM and 1TB storage.
(casual user with maybe some very light photo or video editing). Getting the 16" for the screen size and battery life.
I think not worth getting anything higher even with discount for my usage.

Yes there are many models but most will get either the k2v2 or k6, they are both the same but k2v2 has the top F keys similar to the new mbp f keys replacing the Touch Bar…the k6 also has the same function but you need to hold Fn + number, which is not as convenient, and personally I don’t like k6’s look due to thinner and smaller chassis which makes it not like a normal keyboard..also they are both about the same weight (around 660g) not sure why the k6 weigh the same despite smaller..also the k6 doesn’t have home/delete/screenshoot button..

K2v2 is a 75% keyboard and the k6 is 65%)

Some also consider the k3 which is the thinnest and smallest but the keys are not quite nice to press, also not durable due to slim chassis and easily break with a light bend with less force..

Also, get the aliminium rgb (not even sure if we have the plastic model) and most people prefer brown switches as they are sitting in between blue (loud clicky keys) and red (silent keys), brown has the best of both world imo…and they are also the most sought after and tend to be the one that always run out of stock compared to the other 2…

Hot swappable is an additional feature which cost like rm50 more, but IMO they are not important unless you are planning to change the switches in the future which cost about rm3each (if you get the same switch which is Gateron for this model), or unless you want to only replace certain keys like wsad for gaming etc..and if you are planning to lube your keys for more tactile feel, but that’s quite technical which you can look up on YouTube..

Battery wise they both are the same at 4000mah that’s long lasting enough to last about 1-2 weeks before a charge is needed (also depends on usage) but generally battery is less of an issue as you can charge it while you use during emergency, which is rare..

keychron was designed for macs but the box also comes with window keys which you can swap out easily, you can choose to use it wired or wireless although most prefer wireless I think..it’s running on Bluetooth 5.1 ..which means it’s not going to drain alot of battery (anything above Bluetooth 4.0 doesn’t have draining battery issue) and also means there won’t be any noticeable latency (I heard the k6 has even shorter latency which was made better for gaming, but without the top row F keys I’m not sure how is the slightly shorter latency going to give better gaming experience)

Lastly the k2v2 cost 339 on retail stores which many shared you can get it slightly cheaper on shopee/lazada..personally I wouldn’t stress about it as the brown keys are almost sold out in all these platforms, another is the authenticity, and I’m not sure if it’s worth the hassle to save these bucks..subjective depending on your budget, some need it, while some doesn’t bother i.e nowadays go out for a meal with family already cost more then the keyboard itself

And remember don’t get the version 1 (not sure if people still sell them in Malaysia), you can differentiate it from the V2 printed on the box, the v1 is flat while the v2 has an inclined base which is obvious from side view, and the v2 has 2 incline feet’s compared to 1 on the v1, also the capslock doesn’t have indication on the v1 and they fixed it on v2 with red light upon activation (the new k6 has all similar upgrades as the k2v2, but they are not k6v2, there are called k6), old k6 has the same specs as k2v1 and if not mistaken they are running on Bluetooth 3.0..

Lastly. If you want it with numpad with similar features, get the k8.

hope it helps.

yea this year chip shortage everything delays ...most already switch to buying from retailers.. but personally I prefer buying from apple store for the fantastic after sales.. but would anytime grab ready stocks > waiting weeks

btw just noticed even the magic trackpad has the new braided cables andrewtho tempted to get one coz I realise I'm using the big trackpad on mbp more than the mouse..previously use the mouse more coz the 13" has small trackpad..

Looks like this is the segment to go to lament Apple’ slow deliveries

I order on 22nd of November and they’re really takin their sweet time to send me laptops.

These are just base model 14 and 16 so I don’t know why it’s taking so Much longer to ship my 16”

anyone else can’t charge their 16”? andrewtho bro yours ok? my first and second full charge was fine, third one was yesterday and it’s dead, most people who reported the same issue can’t charge when the lid is closed or shut down, but charges normal when it’s in sleep or lid up….mine however can’t charge completely regardless lid or sleep or shutdown…suspect charging brick or cable issue, or unit defected…bringing in to service center to diagnose today..

The common issue is can’t charge when it’s shut down or lid down bro, never see anyone else reported can’t charge while using or sleep mode…mine completely dead
which screen protector and touchpad film you use bro? and which case?

Heck yea, quite frustrated with the overall scenario but it’s all good now, more frustrated with AASP service center who doesn’t know much, and I have to do more than them in terms of explaining etc when they should already know the case from apple case reference…

And yes they ordered the cable for me (they better) coz it’s under manufacturer defect cable…they even offered me an option to refund under 14 days policy (usually option not for malaysia) but my case is special coz our AASP were not equipped with the knowledge due to new machine they offered to send a refund report to apple, and I’ll get back my refund…I don’t want a refund lol, also coz of the 1-2 months wait which is a hell..don’t wanna go through another roller coaster decision and dilemma lol…
Nice bro! the silver contrast so well with the black leather…when is your Magic Mouse arriving?

yeap, love the combo..yesterday I was at machines testing the charging connector and that 2 guys were discussing on which variant to get, after seeing my silver they changed their mind, they said it looks good on the new design (especially the contrast with the logo and keyboard black underlay)..they say it’s sad how AASP in malaysia only put grey on display shelves and not the silver, can’t even let them compare and decide lol

I’m mostly getting the track pad for the sake of having an extra pad on top of the stock trackpad realize I’m using it more than the mouse these days.also I find it hard to use the trackpad and switch to external keyboard..more often than not my fingers subconsciously go to the MacBook keyboard after swiping on the trackpad..with the external trackpad I can position it right next to my keyboard to avoid all these confusion

Anyone manage to find sleeve that fit current 16.2" MBP?
